Welcome

Please note that as from the end of June Toad Cottage will no longer be used as a holiday cottage. After 11 years as running this cottage for holidays, my Father in Law now 88 will be moving in to be closer to us should he need us in the future. Oaker View will continue as a holiday cottage for many years to come and hope you all still enjoy Oaker View.

Oaker View

Oaker View has two village pubs and if you want to eat out then this is just a walk away - you don’t need to take the car.

Many walks can be accessed from cottage as Oaker View has many public footpaths just metres away that take you straight into the Peak District National Park - you are spoilt for choice for walks in the area and every day you could walk in a different direction straight from cottage.

Oaker View is an 18th Century cottage and it is situated in the village of Darley Bridge which straddles the River Derwent. The cottage was probably built originally for the local lead mines that were being worked in the area during this period and sleeps 2 people in comfort with the option for an additional guest to sleep on the sofa bed in the lounge. The cottage has a kitchen breakfast room, a lounge with wood burner, a large luxury bathroom and a bedroom with king size bed. Oaker View has a courtyard rear garden and a lawn side garden with parking for one car.
